TIP OF THE HAT: TALLADEGA'S WAR ON DRUGS

We realize there's a long way to go before Talladega County ever reaches 
the end of the war on drugs, but we are encouraged with efforts by 
Talladega's police force and the county's drug task force. Arrests are 
racking up by both forces as they continue a much more visible crackdown on 
drugs than in years past. And that sends a message that lawmen are being 
aggressive in their hunt for drug dealers.

With so many crime statistics directly related to drugs, law enforcement 
must do a better job in eliminating the drug trafficking business in the area.

Recent efforts by both the county and city show a definite step in the 
right direction.
